> Aim to keep it 7-10 years

Security updates will end 01 Sep 2028.

https://endoflife.date/fairphone


Many important security updates will end much earlier. The table is based on how long Fairphone will provide incomplete security updates, not how long the device will truly receive security support.

Fairphone 5 and earlier have end-of-life Linux kernel branches without security support. Fairphone's more recent devices are headed to the same situation. In practice, the same thing happens with other components beyond the Linux kernel.


Ouch, that sucks.

> Of course there is no warranty

You always have the right to a minimum 2-year guarantee from the moment you received the goods. However, national rules in your country may give you extra protection.[1]

Is there are a reason why you mention die, not dice, so many times in your post? Do you actually mean die? Honest question since it's repeated.

"Die" is a common singular form of "dice". The relative prevalence of "die" vs "dice" for this is regionally dependent. In general, English can't make up its mind with a lot of things involving words which end in a "sss" sound.

Die is singular, dice is plural. 1 die, 2 dice, 3 dice, …

It used to be something people were corrected on, but these days dice is accepted as the singular too and die is starting to be seen as a little antiquated.


Thanks.:)

So, they've realized podcasters and vloggers are a large part of their target audience. Then I believe they have to implement some models for speech restoration.

These days most people just Adobe Podcast Enhance and forget and, from what I've seen there isn't an open source GUI based tool for automated voice processing out there.

Must add that it's so awesome to have an open source Qt based audio editor on KDE Plasma that does not look like shit!


> Vanilla OS is built on Debian sid

Tuxedo settled for Testing. Reason for Sid?

> Additionally, with Vib (Vanilla Image Builder), anyone can customize their own system image, or even create their own distro with minimal effort.

This sounds very intriguing! Been using Aurora (Universal Blue) for years, but there's always a package or two you need to layer. Updates have crapped out more than once because of these packages. Been thinking that an easier way of creating custom images is the solution.

uBlue images are not effortless to create and maintain. Just installed plain Fedora two days ago for this reason.

Vanilla being GNOME by default has kept me from trying it. Plasma is so darn good these days.


Bogging down? I've been on almost 100% Flapaks for years and have never noticed any adverse effects.


That person shared their experience. How is that invalid?


That's how it's sold, but have you heard about any major tech company that sends their worker home when they've achieved what they used to achieve pre-AI?

EDIT: Instead of simply down-voting, you're welcome to name examples that proves me wrong ;)


This is anecdotal, but I know that a lot of my coworkers and coasting and putting up one AI generated PR per day which they've hardly even self reviewed.


In a good company that will come back to bite them next performance review.

So, if it doesn't then you learned something about your workplace (and it's not good).


> In a good company that will come back to bite them next performance review.

In a good company that should be discussed in the next 1:1s so actual change can happen meanwhile. If it just waits for the end of year review, then it's not a good company.


Middle management was all cut so all managers have 30 direct reports and "Don't have time" to do more than a couple 1:1s per year.


Sure. I meant if they are stubborn.


These individuals are demonstrating that they can be replaced with AI. I worry for them.


The only way that you can translate productivity gains into more free time in a salaried position is by working remotely. Seems obvious, no?


That's (sadly) a Swedish name, yes.


I think it's a pretty cool name. But it's pronounced more like "Yeah"-rker.


Yeah, large part of the world reads J as Y in ye/yi combinations in English, even if they'd giggle at what it means in English.


I worked with a guy called Jerker at IBM in Greenock, who soon learned to give back as good as he got. Swedish people can be pretty sarcastic, so he was what you'd call a "good cultural fit".


Because the photographer builds trust, over years, by not manipulating their images using AI. All trust is erased if anyone spots the manipulation.


Unfortunately that solution fails where "AI" manipulation is not detectable by viewers.


My point was that the risk of erasing all the trust built keeps a wise photographer from missteps.


Many famous images was edited. It's part of process. However we talk about generative manipulation that change or generate new content.


> most decently sized companies want to and eventually will be running their own LLM workloads

And probably some decently sized states too. Not only commercial actors are up to the job.
